PAC-12: 2014 Rosters Heat Map

The PAC-12 2014 roster heat map breakdown. The hotter the color, the greater the number of guys on PAC-12 rosters come from that area. It’s no shock to see the LA area is the monster and all the major metro areas of the PAC-12 are hit hard.

Observations:

Unlike the other conferences, the PAC-12 teams reach way outside their conference area to find players, especially into Texas.

Stanfordand Oregonlead the conference and the nation with both having their average guy on their 2014 roster over 1,000 miles from home.

Before McIntyre, the Buffssigned very few guys from their state. The focus on in-state guys and increased LOIs from Colorado show up in the numbers.

Unlike most of the other Major conferences [P5], half of the PAC-12 teams had a lower metric per guy for their 2014 class versus the 2014 roster.

USC, with a new coaching staff, pulled way back from their average recruiting distance and stayed much closer to home.

The Utes went waaayyyyy outside their comfort zone and recruited guys, on average, nearly double the distance than the average on their 2014 roster.
